Learn About Bankruptcy Law

Bankruptcy is a legal means of eliminating or restructuring debt. It is typically only considered an option when the debts of an individual or a bankruptcy become so unmanageable that there is little hope of the debtor being able to pay all of them back.

Essentially, it is an official acknowledgement by the law that the debtor is unable to pay their debt, and a decree that the debtor is no longer legally obliged to pay some of the debt, or is now obliged to repay it under terms much more favorable to the debtor.
